Emmanuel O. Akindele

I am a freshwater ecologist, conservationist, and professor at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. My research focuses on freshwater ecosystem conservation, informed by professional training courses in conservation that I have attended in the UK, USA, and the Netherlands. Specifically, I investigate the conservation value of freshwater systems using the macroinvertebrate index approach and conduct research on freshwater ecotoxicology, with a focus on heavy metals and other toxicants. I have also had the honour of engaging in international research collaborations. I was a DAAD visiting researcher at the German Federal Institute of Hydrology, Koblenz, and an Alexander von Humboldt experienced researcher at the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries, Berlin.
